The Sugarbush and Snowbasin, Utah, ski resorts have joined the Mountain Collective for the 2017-2018 season.

The Mountain Collective Pass grants access to 16 worldwide destinations with more than 51,306 acres of terrain, 2,517 trails and 458 lifts. The pass includes two-day tickets per resort, plus unlimited half-price day tickets with no blackout days.

Sugarbush and Snowbasin, the two newest members, offer challenging terrain and variety for all levels of skiers and riders.

Also new for the 2017-2018 season, Mountain Collective Pass holders will receive twice the number of days at destinations in Utah and Alberta, Canada. Beginning with the 2017-2018 season, Alta and Snowbird, in the Salt Lake City area, and Banff Sunshine and Lake Louise, in the Banff National Park area, will be considered as separate and distinct destinations providing pass holders with two days at each and unlimited 50 percent off days with no blackouts. The dividing of the destinations along with the addition of Snowbasin and Sugarbush brings the total ski days available from full partners to 32 days at 16 unique destinations.

Starting today, March 9, a limited number of Mountain Collective Passes are on sale for only $399. In addition, spring pass purchasers receive one bonus day at the destination of their choice and two additional days at Global Affiliate Resorts (Valle Nevado, Chile; Hakuba Valley, Japan; and Chamonix Mont Blanc, France). For a limited time, pricing for the kids’ pass (ages 12 and under) is just $1 for the 2017-2018 season when purchased this spring with an adult pass.
“We are delighted to join the Mountain Collective and feel that it is a great fit for Sugarbush,” says Win Smith, president and majority owner of Sugarbush Resort. “The Collective brings together the best independently owned ski resorts across the country – and some abroad – and offers a terrific pass product, as well as benefits for each mountain’s pass holders and staff. We are honored to be in the company of these well-respected mountains and are excited to offer these additional benefits to our Sugarbush community. I have personally skied at many of the Mountain Collective resorts and consider them among my favorites.”
In addition to being able to ski or ride at 16 destinations, extra benefits available to Mountain Collective Pass holders include lodging deals and a complimentary, one-year Protect Our Winters (protectourwinters.org) membership. The Mountain Collective is committed to being in business forever and proudly partners with Protect Our Winters with the mission of uniting the winter sports community on the important issue of climate change. The partnership also offers a 50 percent discount on lift tickets to premier season pass holders at the participating resorts throughout the season.
